collecting the patient's waste and storing until decayed to background
✔✔bone marrow imaging is performed using:
a. MDP
b. HDP
c. sulfur colloid
d. Gd153
e. A and B - ✔✔C. sulfur colloid
✔✔why would an image of the brain be obtained during a lung perfusion scan using
Tc99m MAA?
a. rule out brain mets
b. to detect low tagging efficiency
c. to detect a R-L cardiac shunt
d. to see if pulmonary emboli have traveled into the cerebral arteries - ✔✔c. to detect a
R-L cardiac shunt
✔✔all of the following have an effect on the concentration of eluate obtained from a wet
generator except:
a. time since last elution
b. volume of saline added to the charging port
, c. size of collection vial
d. amount of Mo99 activity present on the alumina colum
e. both b and c - ✔✔b. volume of saline added to the charging port
✔✔a Mo/Tc generator has an elution efficiency of 89%. if 1.1 Ci of Tc is present on the
column, what is the estimated activity of eluate that will be obtained?
a. 97.9 Ci
b. 979 mCi
c. 979 uCi
d. 97.9 mCi - ✔✔b. 979 mCi
✔✔Tc DPTA has be used for all of the following, EXCEPT:
a. aerosol lung scanning
b. renal flow study
c. brain flow study
d. shunt patency
e. spleen scanning - ✔✔E. spleen scanning
✔✔which of the following is not used as an anticoagulant?
a. heparin
b. EDTA
c. ascorbic acid
d. ACD solution - ✔✔c. ascorbic acid
✔✔if the concentration of a solution desired is 2 mCi/ml and the 325 mCi of solute is
contained in a volume of 2.5 ml, how much water should be added to create the
solution?
a. 160 ml
b. 162.5 ml
c. 650 ml
d. 125 ml - ✔✔b. 162.5 ml
(Books says this, but pretty sure it's A-160 ml
2 mCi/ml = 325 mCi/x,
x= 162.5, but you already have 2.5 mL, so 162.5-2.5=160

c. RCA
d. LCA - ✔✔c. RCA
✔✔the uptake of FDG by tumors is based on:
a. a blood brain barrier breakdown (say that 5x)
